No, Ms. Fogel, I don't have a degree in journalism

When I questioned her about publishing anonymous death threats last week, St. Augustine Record newspaper Publisher Delinda Fogel asked if I "have a degree in journalism?"
No. See below. It does not seem to inhibit my ability to ask questions, to seek truth and to know right from wrong. It never has and never will, Ms. Fogel.
This morning, a three story resort hotel near Disney World in Orlando collapsed into a sinkhole. The Associated Press reported, as it has previously, that sinkholes are a problem in Florida because of limestone.
That's shallow.
Could it be that sinkholes are also problem in Florida because of groundwater mining by greedy developers, which is permitted by incurious water management districts?
Please dig deeper, Associated Press.
Try to investigate (not obfuscate).
The whole world is watching.
Don't forget to watch tonight's St. Augustine City Commission meeting on streaming video to see if the St. Augustine Record has any defense of its website violating its own Posting Rules, recklessly maintaining a place for hate.
